No new updates for a while. Dunno when I’ll get time. It’s easier just to throw albums up. Check out the Satellite Station for more info.

Have fun, guys.

I started picking random tracks and found that I ended up picking two from each artist… guess we’ve got four featured artists this post.

Featured: Bersarin Quartett

The Bersarin Quartett are a German electronic group. They aren’t a quartet, in fact, they aren’t even a they, it’s a one-man thing. It’s wonderful autumn music. Specifically September music. It fits well. It’s cool and airy music, like a breeze at night.

Mehr als alles andere [mp333]

Featured: Carissa’s Wierd

They’re from Seattle but broke up a few years ago - lameballs. Wierd is spelled wrong on purpose. There are violins and pianos and guitars and stuff, with relaxing and subtle vocals. Completely wonderful.

Brooke Daniels’ Tiny Broken Fingers [mp333]

Sofisticated Fuck Princess Please Leave Me Alone [mp333]

Featured: Helios

Helios is downtempo and relaxing and other things. I threw in a remix he did too, instead of a second song, just because. I wouldn’t call it ambient… but it kind of is. I might actually call it that… Post-rock-ish kind of also.

Dragonfly Across an Ancient Sky [mp333]

Boy In Static - Where It Ends (Helios Remix) [mp333]

Featured: Fleeting Joys

Fleeting Joys are so totally Shoegaze. They have such a classic My Bloody Valentine sound except better (debatable…). I don’t know what else to say. If you don’t know what Shoegaze is, this is a good place to start.

Hello blog!

I’ll pick up some of the slack while Mick is away on his conquering of summer camps or some business like that. So here you have it, a booster pack of summer tunes that will help you get through those blistering heat waves and burger filled months.

First off (sorry I live near philly) we have Summertime by good ol’ Hancock himself, you can’t get much better afternoon time driving music [mp333]

Also how could you go for a drive in July without listening to The Temptations. If you have not had the chance to embrace your inner 70s getaway driver then now is your chance, give The Temptations a listen. [mp333]

And here are a few things to enjoy when the heat subsides and the night roles in:

Blue States, sound familiar? If you are a Zero7 fan or you just really like the movie 28 days later then you will recognize this style. [mp333]

Phoenix, they are from France. I used to think they were from New Zealand… convinced a few people, try not to do the same. Also watch the Flight of the Conchords HBO series, or atleast look them up on the youtubes. [mp333]

Anyways, this weekend I’m going to Boston to see these guys Violet Nine. They seem to be a pretty solid band, and from what I’ve heard they sound great live. I’ll report back next week and post some more music. Thanks for listening, ciao for now.

Dear blog,

Am working at a camp as a counselor this summer. No updates until September or late late August.

Love,
Mick

A quick track from Natural Snow Buildings. It’s creepy in some parts, nice in others. It’s generally ambient, sometimes in a dark way. About as epic as an ambient track can get, clocking in at around 25 minutes.
